SAG Awards 2013: The Complete Winners' List

The great Brit, who plays spy chief M in the film, was surprised to learn that Sam Mendes was not recognised in the Best Director category and that her co-stars, 007 Daniel Craig and movie villain Javier Bardem, had been overlooked in the top acting nods.
She tells the BBC, "I'm very, very sorry that nothing has been recognised. That's a great pity. I thought Sam Mendes directed it absolutely beautifully. It was a terrific film."
And Dench only hopes the Bond films haven't been deliberately shut out in the main categories over the years because of their commercial success.
When asked if she thought there was a bias against the superspy franchise, she adds, "There may be. I don't know. I hope not. I just think that all round it was really wonderfully directed and presented and filmed and lit and shot."
Skyfall didn't get left out completely - Adele's theme tune landed a nod for Best Song, while the film also scored well with technical nominations for production, cinematography, sound editing and mixing.
The action-packed movie fared better with bosses at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Film Awards, securing nominations for Dench (Supporting Actress) and Bardem (Supporting Actor), while it was also mentioned in categories for Original Music, Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Sound and Outstanding British Film. The nominations top a stellar year for 007 after Skyfall became the first ever Bond movie to break the billion dollar mark at the global box office.

In the early hours of Thursday, Jan. 10, Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone will take a stage to announce the nominees for the 85th Academy Awards. Most years, the process is the cap to a long season with the same three titles dominating every category, the final choices rarely surprises.
This year is a bit different.
Sure, there are frontrunners, but more so than in the last decade, most categories are anyone's to win — or even pop into at the last minute with a surprise nomination. With the amount of Best Picture nominees in flux, no clear leader to any acting pack, and a bevy of technical awards that could go to any of the prestigious films to roll out over the year, the 2012 Oscar nomination line-up is one big question mark.
To test our powers of prediction, we weighed the odds and ran down every category with our picks for who may walk away with a nomination at the end of tomorrow. If they do, we'll still be up for one of the toughest Oscar pool years in a long, long time….
Best Picture
Argo
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Django Unchained
Les Misérables
Lincoln
Life of Pi
Moonrise Kingdom
Silver Linings Playbook
Zero Dark Thirty
Who Could Break In? In 2009, the Academy opened up the Best Picture race from five to 10 nominees. In 2011, they changed the rules again to allow the potential number of nominees to change based on the vote (with a minimum of five and a maximum of 10). So we're going with nine movies from 2012 for Best Picture. What could sneak in? Thanks to the BAFTAs, it seems more possible that Skyfall could be James Bond's first time in the Best Picture ring. There's also the French drama Amour, which could transcend the Foreign Film confines to nab the 10th slot.
Best Actress
Jennifer Lawrence – Silver Linings Playbook
Jessica Chastain – Zero Dark Thirty
Marion Cotillard – Rust and Bone
Helen Mirren – Hitchcock
Emmanuelle Riva – Amour
Who Could Break In? Naomi Watts was a longtime favorite for her physically demanding work in The Impossible, but quiet buzz has us swapping her out for Hitchcock's Mirren. Foreign language favorites Cotillard and Riva also look like solid picks, but raves for Quvenzhané Wallis in Beasts of the Southern Wild could bump the young actress into the top five.
Best Actor
Denzel Washington – Flight
John Hawkes – The Sessions
Daniel Day-Lewis – Lincoln
Hugh Jackman– Les Misérables
Bradley Cooper – Silver Linings Playbook
Who Could Break In? This is one of the only categories that looks locked, but voters may have erased Joaquin Phoenix's anti-Oscar rant from memory long enough to move him into Hawkes or Washington's slots. The dark horse is Jack Black, who has been garnering more and more love in the awards season push for his performance in Bernie.
Best Supporting Actress
Helen Hunt – The Sessions
Sally Field – Lincoln
Anne Hathaway – Les Misérables
Maggie Smith – The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Nicole Kidman – The Paperboy
Who Could Break In? Best Exotic Marigold Hotel could take a second slot in this race, with Dame Judi Dench bouncing Kidman from the ring (or even replacing her costar Smith). Amy Adams also looks like a major contender, but the favorite from The Master has lost traction since the movie debuted in September.
Best Supporting Actor
Philip Seymour Hoffman – The Master
Leonardo Dicaprio – Django Unchained
Tommy Lee Jones – Lincoln
Alan Arkin – Argo
Javier Bardem – Skyfall
Who Could Break In? Robert De Niro is still a major player for the Supporting Actor category, but he's more of a legend worth nodding to than a stand out in Silver Linings Playbook. With unexpected love from both the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs going to Javier Bardem for his villainy in Skyfall, he stands a good chance of taking the fifth spot. Or maybe the voters will realize the greatness of Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike….
Best Director
Ben Affleck – Argo
Kathryn Bigelow – Zero Dark Thirty
Steven Spielberg – Lincoln
Ang Lee – Life of Pi
Quentin Tarantino – Django Unchained
Who Could Break In? Tom Hooper (Les Misérables) earned the fifth slot in the Director's Guild award nominations earlier in the race, but the stylish magic of Tarantino may outnumber him when it comes to the Oscars. Close-ups and canted angles versus zooms and whip pans to bloodshed — which does the Academy favor?
Best Original Screenplay
Quentin Tarantino – Django Unchained
Rian Johnson – Looper
Paul Thomas Anderson – The Master
Wes Anderson &amp; Roman Coppola – Moonrise Kingdom
Mark Boal - Zero Dark Thirty
Who Could Break In? The Writer's Guild honored Flight writer John Gatins for his work on the alcoholism drama, but with Tarantino (who is not a WGA member and was ineligible for their nom) in the mix, his weaker work looks to be ousted. Writer/Director Michael Haneke's elegant work on Amour could also be honored if the Academy feels bad for not stepping up and giving it a Best Picture nomination.
Best Adapted Screenplay
Chris Terrio – Argo
Stephen Chbosky – Perks of Being a Wallflower
Tony Kushner – Lincoln
David Magee – Life of Pi
David O. Russell – Silver Linings Playbook
Who Could Break In? If too few members of the Academy caught Chbosky's touching translation of his own novel, love for Beasts of the Southern Wild may be strong enough to bump it into this category (it was based on a short play called "Juicy and Delicious"). Enough Les Misérables support could also bump the musical into the category, replacing either Perks or The Master.
Best Animated Feature
Brave
Frankenweenie
ParaNorman
The Rabbi's Cat
Wreck-It Ralph
Who Could Break In? Sorry, Rise of the Guardians. Although you're a technical marvel, your holiday magic just didn't impact enough people this holiday season to make you an Oscar contender. We'll go with the relatively unknown (but highly-praised by those who have seen it) Rabbi's Cat.
Best Documentary Feature
The Gatekeepers
How to Survive a Plague
The Invisible War
Mea Maxima Culpa
Searching for Sugarman
Who Could Break In? Jafar Panahi's astounding self-portrait This Is Not a Film is a whirlwind of emotion — that's also shot mostly on an iPhone. The low-tech feel puts it under the flashy documentaries above, but one hopes the Academy could see beyond the cinematography.
Best Foreign Language Film
Amour
No
The Intouchables
A Royal Affair
Beyond the Hills
Who Could Break In? Amour is the one to beat, but watch out for Norawy's Kon-Tiki, which could rise all the way to the top if voters feel split over giving Amour Best Picture and Best Foreign Language love.

Despite being the main attraction of the longest running film franchise in history, the role of James Bond has never won anyone an Oscar. But it seems, Mr. Bond, that your luck could change.
Historically, the films themselves are wholly unappreciated come Oscar season, unless you count Goldfinger and Thunderball’s Best Effects statuettes from 1964 and 1965. With Adele’s Skyfall theme eligible for nomination this year, we can be certain the world’s greatest spy will work his way into the Best Song category, and with the Producer’s Guild handing Skyfall a best picture nomination in their often Oscar-predictive nomination rounds, things seem to be going in Bond's favor. But even if 007 falls short in the awards capacity, Oscar’s got a pretty sweet birthday present for him as a consolation prize. The 85th Oscars will pay tribute to the largest film franchise in Hollywood history come Feb. 24.
“We are very happy to include a special sequence on our show saluting the Bond films on their 50th birthday," said producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron in a press release. “Starting with Dr. No back in 1962, the 007 movies have become the longest-running motion picture franchise in history and a beloved global phenomenon."
Honoring the 50 year-old series could be a simple way to spice up the Oscars ceremony in light of recent chatter that the glossy awards show has become dull and humdrum. Including a tribute to everyone’s favorite spy with, of course, the familiar bombastic bump of Monty Norman’s classic “James Bond Theme” is sure to lend a sense of excitement to this year’s Oscars. No one can resist the pull of that surf rock riff (or the parade of handsome men and gorgeous women that come with it).
Of course, with Skyfall’s overwhelming critical praise (including plenty for leading man Daniel Craig), monumental box office success (it just passed the $1 billion mark worldwide), and villain played by none other than Oscar-winner (and possible dark horse Best Supporting Actor nominee this year) Javier Bardem, if there was ever a year for Bond to break on through, it would be 2013.
The 85th Academy Awards air live on Sunday, Feb. 24 on ABC.

Sony Pictures announced today that Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond adventure, has surpassed $1 billion at the worldwide box office, it was jointly announced today by Jeff Blake, chairman of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures and Gary Barber, MGM's Chairman &amp; CEO.
The film, from Albert R. Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, is the most successful Bond film of all time. It is the highest-grossing film of all time in the UK, the first film to pass £100 million at the UK box office. It is also the most successful film at the worldwide box office in Sony Pictures history.
Skyfall took in $4.6 million this weekend in North America for a cume to date of $289.6 million. Overseas, the film grossed $10.3 million for an international total to date of $710.6 million and a worldwide cume exceeding $1 billion and growing.
We hope that Oscar takes notice as well given the incredible performances by Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem and the incomparable Judi Dench. Under the direction of Sam Mendes, this was one of the most rewarding Bond movie experiences to date...and one of the best movies of the year!

Terrence Malick's visually captivating 2011 Oscar nominated film Tree of Life was one of the most divisive films last year. You either really loved the elusive Malick's undeniably beautiful, ambitious, grandiose filmmaking or you were completely bored and frustrated by it. (What in the hell were those dinosaurs doing there?) How you felt about Tree of Life, which a close friend of mine once accurately described as, a "really great three-hour screensaver" will likely dictate how you feel about the celebrated director's latest effort, To The Wonder.
While the trailer doesn't give much away about the actual plot of the film (which played to mixed reactions at both the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival) the resemblances to Tree of Life are undeniable: a soothing voiceover speaking in broad, inspirational quotes about the mystery of life set to a sweeping score (here, Javier Bardem as a priest), very attractive people in very beautiful settings soaking in and pondering the mystery of life (here, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, and Olga Kurylenko), and, of course, trees. Watch:
To The Wonder arrives in theaters on April 12, 2013, but still have to wait to see the open fields and beautiful rays of sunlight he'll put in the path of Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara, Natalie Portman, and Lizardman.

Summary

Hardly one to have hungered for a Hollywood career, Spanish-born actor Javier Bardem nonetheless achieved great stardom and acclaim while being highly selective of the roles he chose to play. After making his film debut in "The Ages of Lulu" (1990), Bardem graduated to leading roles with "Jamón, Jamón" (1992) and made his English language debut in "Perdita Durango" (1997). He made an international splash with his Oscar-nominated performance as openly gay Cuban author Reinaldo Arenas in "Before Night Falls" (2000), and continued to win serious praise for "The Dancer Upstairs" (2003). Bardem went on to deliver a sterling performance as quadriplegic Ramón Sampedro, who spent 29 years fighting for his right to die in the "The Sea Inside" (2004). Following a brief, but pivotal turn as Mexican drug lord in "Collateral" (2004), Bardem was the fictional Brother Lorenzo in the otherwise historical drama "Goya's Ghosts" (2006), before starring in Mike Newell's adaptation of "Love in the Time of Cholera" (2007). But it was his Oscar-winning performance as the ruthless, coin-tossing assassin Anton Chigurh in the Coen Brothers' "No Country for Old Men" (2007) that catapulted Bardem into superstardom. From there, he was a Spanish painter in Wood Allen's "Vicky Christina Barcelona" (2008), a deteriorating family man in "Biutiful" (2010), and James Bond's arch-enemy in "Skyfall" (2012), all while embarking on a low-profile marriage with Penelope Cruz. Whether sympathetic hero or psychotic villain, Bardem was certainly worthy of the slew of awards and critical praise he routinely received.

Notes

"When you play characters who gave their lives in order for us to learn something, then there's no space for yourself, for your benefit, for your rest, for your success. There's only space for that man to be listened to." – Bardem on what he learned portraying Ramón Sampedro in "The Sea Inside," to Premiere magazine, December 2004/January 2005

"... every actor will go as far as the character demands, because you are going to be rewarded for that, and I'm not talking about frivolous things like awards, I'm talking about what this person has to teach you through the process." – Bardem to Venice magazine, December 2004/January 2005

"I've always said I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino." – Bardem quoted in GQ, October 2012
